  1. Enjoy, in a big way. Great place to be, fun vehicle to do it in.
  2. Timing? Or internal leack. Radiator cap in good nick? What mix are you using in rad? Hose collapsing, maybe internally? Block drain leacking.
  3. We're all talking to much that's the problem.:-D
  4. Welcome Dave! Though you will have no choice over participating. Most of us have Dinky and the other manufacturer, collections around.

    Blimey!

    Mods in perfect harmony? :cool2:
  6. Nope mate we call them Station Wagons, or Safari's if they have the double roof,:trustme:
  7. As stated applied with a 4 inch paste brush Hey, it needed doing and the brush was available! Actually came out quite a good finsh. The alternative would have been to completly strip about 20+ coats of cracked shift paint off it.
  8. Are you spraying or brooming it on? Using Brush 4 inch paste, about 4 litres should do a Landy.
  9. The amount of BMW's and Chelsea tractors running baout :confused: Back in my day... there are still a lot of younger folk who have Land Rovers and Su..Suu.. I will say the word.. Suzukis. Whee, for fun it is just that the current pahse seems to be glitz and ICE. With the curent emphasis on Family History in schools I have found recently a lot of youngsters finding out Uncle Bill was a soldier has peacked their intrest. The classic all in a line military vehicle has its place. Though for me they are a place for enthusiasits. I like them as it a chnce to sit around drinking tea, scrounging cake and chatting with people you haven't seen for a while. The PUBLIC, especially the younger set have been weaned on things like Call to arms and other computer games, they want at least intially spectical. So Living History and battles give them that. The biggest thing is make the young people welcome. Talk to them. Intersts mature. So saying it nice at the end of the day when the PUBLIC, get bootted out and thereal fun starts.
  10. I couldn't care less if my wins a prize or not. I own theDdodge, and did own the 101 to enjoy them. It amazes me to see Concor's clases with people dementedley cleaning air vents with cotton buds. trailer things about so no mud gets on the wheels.. Could you see any of that lot charging round the ring, or having a load of blokes in hob nail boots jumping in and out? How do you encourage the next generation TALK TO THEM!!!! Don't rope everything off, involve them. Tell me I might not understand, show me I might forget, involve me, and will be hooked for life.
  11. Collecting CF's? Welcome in you are definitley barmy enough. I know a local who had a CF that started blowing oil. So he took the filler cap off and replaced it with a sock. He then asked me if I knew why the engine was making funny noises. Well if you get a sock wraspped round the cam shaft, it can lead to weird happenings.
  12. Not allowed to put bromide in the tea any more.
  13. You've come to the right place then. Careful though such research is infectious as green diseasies
  14. Welcome, wide spread of intrest you have.
  15. Chore horse are diffrent to the BSA. The BSA are later, bothof these are smaller than your picture and have the fuel tank mounted under the engine. Externally the are all but identical. Internally there are some diffrences.
  16. Coming down some of those slopes!!! :shocked: Evil thought comes to mind. Present one to VOSA as a luxury camper vehicle.
  17. He'd thump me with his newely aquired plaster.
  18. In UK we mostly move the CONTENTS of a house by taking them out first. It does make life a lot easier you know. Though your way does save a lot of packing.
  19. Not only WW2. There were similar sirens mounted on public buildings up to the late 1980's. That being the date I know the siren was removed from St Mary Cray Police station. I do remember the one on my primary school being tested once a year up to 1967 when I left.
  20. Along Mike's lines. As has just happned to a friend of mine. When you chuck a large stone flower pot into a skip, let go of it first!
  21. Hi Issy, the war graves thread is a sort of labour of love. The grave is a starting place to find out more about the individual and the circumstances where they died. The burial of one or more bodies is usually associated with Triple alliance or Axis casualties. The probable reason for the two bodies buried together is that the remains were found together but though both can be identified, the individual can not.
